Bonus Purple
Still confused about purple / violet? Then click here. Though sometimes the lines colours can be blurred.
Pinkish-purple
Violet-Blue
Pink enough to fit under Purple?
Or blue as in Violet?
What shades of purples can you find in your world?

I have lived in the UK for most of my life, but when young I definitely had wanderlust and even ended up living in South Africa for several years which was a wonderful experience. I now look forward to a long and leisurely retirement doing what I like most - gardening, photography, walking and travelling.

Enjoyed a bit of purple on the weekend. A bit darker than yours though Jude π π
Dark is good. π€
Thanks Jude π π
Keep trying Jude! But whatever colour these are, they’re lovely.
The colour(s) appear on the palettes – I’d probably opt for lilac if I were to give it a name.
Don’t be silly! Those are just pink π π
Teehee, just seen this – I said the same! π³
Well, now she’s just being plain daft! You tell her, Sue. I’m tired of being in the doghouse π π
Letβs see….
Depends on what you think is pink? I would say these roses are pink but with a tint of blue which puts them into the purple zone. Now a proper ‘blue’ rose would be more like violet.
Jude, it’s a load of tosh! Lighten up, hon π€π

Wasn’t that a bit of fun π

I’m going with violet. They remind me of the colour of Parma Violets sweets.
Best wishes, Pete. x
There is one shade on the lighter palette which just might fit, but I don’t think mine is blue enough. As others have ‘kindly’ pointed out, these err on the pink side.
Hate to say this, Jude, but I say thatβs pink….
Ah, but if you look at the lighter palette this does fit in. A pinkish-purple or a purplish-pink π
A purple on the pink side….
Exactly βΊοΈ

They’re very beautiful, soft, old fashioned blooms –
longing for some sun after days of wet; that will brighten the hues, whatever colour they are!
I agree. We keep getting a bit of sun early on, but then stair rods!
